Key Capabilities / Features

Comprehensive Visibility Across All Environments
Clutch offers a unified view of all NHIs across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments. Through detailed Identity Lineage™, it tracks the origin, associated individuals, storage, usage, and access of NHIs. This empowers security teams with complete contextual understanding while building a robust inventory for secure management.

Advanced Lifecycle Management and Governance
Simplifying NHI governance, Clutch enforces consistent policies like least privilege access. From creation to decommissioning, it ensures full lifecycle control, reducing complexity and strengthening operational security.

Effective Risk and Posture Management
Clutch identifies, prioritizes, and remediates risks using actionable playbooks to minimize the attack surface. By addressing critical vulnerabilities, it elevates security posture and safeguards mission-critical assets.

Real-Time Detection and Response
Advanced algorithms detect anomalies in NHI activity and deliver instant responses to mitigate breaches. This minimizes the blast radius and ensures uninterrupted security.

Proactive Protection with Zero Trust and Ephemeral Identities
Clutch’s Zero Trust model validates every NHI interaction in real time. By transitioning to ephemeral identities - short-lived, automatically expiring credentials - Clutch prevents misuse even if credentials are exposed. This eliminates the need for inefficient secret rotation, enhancing efficiency, reducing overhead, and enabling security teams to operate autonomously.

Customizable Workflows
Clutch’s workflows allow extensive customization to automate and streamline security processes. Organizations can tailor responses to their unique needs and integrate seamlessly with diverse tools and systems for enhanced collaboration.

Clutch redefines NHI security, providing unmatched visibility, robust protection, and operational resilience to meet the demands of modern enterprises.

How we are different

Holistic, Identity-Centric Security
Clutch revolutionizes NHI security by shifting focus from infrastructure-based models to an identity-centric approach. Offering unparalleled visibility across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments, Clutch provides a detailed understanding of NHI lifecycles, associations, and access. Its platform ensures comprehensive governance through consistent policies like least privilege access, advanced risk prioritization and remediation playbooks, and real-time anomaly detection to minimize incident impact and reduce the attack surface.

Innovative Zero Trust and Ephemeral Identities Approach
Unlike traditional vault-based solutions that stop at secure storage, Clutch’s Zero Trust model validates every NHI usage in real time, closing exploitable gaps left by static credentials or secret rotations. By adopting ephemeral credentials and dynamic security controls, Clutch ensures even exposed credentials are rendered unusable to attackers. Beyond security, this approach enhances operational efficiency with five-nines uptime and reduced reliance on IT and engineering teams, empowering security teams to focus on strategic initiatives.

Proven Leadership and Community Impact
Clutch is led by cybersecurity veterans with experience building and managing enterprise platforms for Fortune 500 companies. Backed by leading VCs and notable angel investors, Clutch drives innovation with a team of seasoned experts. The company constantly contributes to the broader cybersecurity community through thought leadership, research, and impactful open-source projects, cementing its position as a trailblazer in NHI security.
